Terry, as far as work is concerned, look at it this way. When you are WELL, you can come back full bore and hug everyone that helped you through this. But if you try to work before you are well and cause yourself more stress, you are making it tougher on everyone. While I am the caregiver in our situation, I was a 24-7 employee of our family owned business. When John was diagnosed, I called my bookeeper and 2 saleswomen in and said "it's your baby until John is well" They have done a great job without me and have even made some improvements. Concentrate on yourself for now. Best luck. Amy
